Description In locations with a Daylight Saving/Standard time change that occurs twice annually, the year has one 23 hour day and one 25 hour day, if by day we mean "an ordered set of all instants in time which are assigned the same date". In the US/Los_Angeles timezone, there is one day in the spring where are no valid times between the moment before 02:00:00 and 03:00:00. Similarly, there is one day in the fall where there are two instants described by all times between 01:00:00 and 01:59:59, first as a set of PDT times, then as a set of PST times. as.POSIXct() doesn’t handle this case well. Times inside this region are assigned to DST until the sequence of clock times has a time which is the same or earlier than its predecessor, and all subsequent ambiguous times are assigned to Standard Time. Usage dst_POSIXct(y, m, d, hr, mn, sec, tz) Arguments y vector of years m vector of months d vector of days hr vector of hours mn vector of minutes sec vector of seconds tz vector of timezones Value POSIXct time assuming vectors sorted by true chronological order, at least for the hour that "occurs twice", once with Daylight Time, then again with Standard Time. If there are no nonmonotonicities in the times, all times in this hour will be assumed to be Daylight Time. dst_repeat_starttime Find the text to POSIXct ambiguous interval. Description Assumes that DST transitions happen on hour boundaries, which is true almost everywhere, and that the wall clock shifts back and repeats exactly 1 hour, again true almost everywhere. This code relies on R and the OS to properly manage DST in all timezones. encode_NA 9 Usage dst_repeat_starttime(y, m, d, tz) Arguments y the year m the month d the day tz the timezone Value list of two integers betweeen 0000 and 2359, hhmm format. the first integer is the beginning of the interval of clock times which correspond to 2 separate instants of time, the second is the end of that interval. The left endpoint is ambiguous, the right endpoint is not since it maps only to Standard Time. encode_NA Processes data.frames and replaces wunderground’s -9999/-999 to NAs Description Processes data.frames and replaces wunderground’s -9999/-999 to NAs Usage encode_NA(df) Arguments df the data.frame to process Value data.frame with correctly encoded NAs 10 forecast3day forecast10day Forecast for the next 10 days. Description Forecast for the next 10 days. Usage forecast10day(location, use_metric = FALSE, key = get_api_key(), raw = FALSE, message = TRUE) Arguments location location set by set_location use_metric Metric or imperial units key weather underground API key raw if TRUE return raw httr object message if TRUE print out requested URL Value tbl_df with date (in posix format), high and low temp, conditions, precipitation, rain, snow, max and avg wind speed, max/min and avg humidity Examples ## Not run: forecast10day(set_location(territory = "Hawaii", city = "Honolulu")) forecast10day(set_location(airport_code = "SEA")) forecast10day(set_location(zip_code = "90210")) forecast10day(set_location(territory = "IR", city = "Tehran")) ## End(Not run) forecast3day Forecast for the next 3 days.

  • The Path to Revolutionary Violence Within the Weather Underground and Provisional IRA
    The Path to Revolutionary Violence within the Weather Underground and Provisional IRA Edward Moran HIS 492: Seminar in History December 17, 2019 Moran 1 The 1960’s was a decade defined by a spirit of activism and advocacy for change among oppressed populations worldwide. While the methods for enacting change varied across nations and peoples, early movements such as that for civil rights in America were often committed to peaceful modes of protest and passive resistance. However, the closing years of the decade and the dawn of the 1970’s saw the patterned global spread of increasingly militant tactics used in situations of political and social unrest. The Weather Underground Organization (WUO) in America and the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) in Ireland, two such paramilitaries, comprised young activists previously involved in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Northern Irish Civil Rights Association (NICRA) respectively. What caused them to renounce the non-violent methods of the Students for a Democratic Society and the Northern Irish Civil Rights Association for the militant tactics of the Weather Underground and Irish Republican Army, respectively? An analysis of contemporary source materials, along with more recent scholarly works, reveals that violent state reactions to more passive forms of demonstration in the United States and Northern Ireland drove peaceful activists toward militancy. In the case of both the Weather Underground and the Provisional Irish Republican Army in the closing years of the 1960s and early years of the 1970s, the bulk of combatants were young people with previous experience in more peaceful campaigns for civil rights and social justice.

Box 1246 Waterville, ME 04903 Tel. 207-872-5111 Fax: 207-872-5502 [email protected] SYNOPSIS Hello, I’m going to read a declaration of a state of war... within the next 14 days we will attack a symbol or institution of American injustice. Bernardine Dohrn Thirty years ago, with those words, a group of young American radicals announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. In THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, former Underground members, including Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, David Gilbert and Brian Flanagan, speak publicly about the idealistic passion that drove them to bring the war home and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI s most wanted list. Fueled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 70s-bombing targets across the country that they considered emblematic of the real violence that the U.S. was wreaking throughout the world. Ultimately, the group s carefully organized clandestine network managed to successfully evade one of the largest manhunts in FBI history, yet the group s members would reemerge to life in a country that was dramatically different than the one they had hoped their efforts would inspire.

Declarations, statements, and communiqués penned by the organization, later revised into compilations and memoirs, attempted to rile and rouse a generation of activists.
